Stunting is the impaired growth and development resulted from poor nutrition, repeated infection, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. Children are defined as stunted if their height-for-age is more than two standard deviations below the WHO Child Growth Standards median. Purwomartani is a village with the highest prevalence of stunting in Kalasan (27.66%), Sleman, Special Region Yogyakarta. The aim of the study was to determine factors that are associated with the incidence of stunting in Purwomartani.  Observational analytic research was conducted with case control design. Data was taken from the Nutrition Monitoring data of Kalasan primary health center in 2018. Cases were children aged 6-24 months who experienced stunting (n=37). Control was children aged 6-24 months who are not stunted (n=37). Three respondents were excluded from each group. Total of 68 data was analyzed. The results of the study showed that the majority of those who are stunted are in the age groups 13-24 months and the gender was female. Variables related to the incidence of stunting were father's education (OR = 3.429; CI = 1,176-9,994), maternal education (OR = 3,519; CI = 1,270-9,750), birth weight (OR = 5,250; CI = 1,509-18,268) and breastfeeding history (OR = 3.378; CI = 1,246-9,157). Variables that were not related to the incidence of stunting are family income (OR = 1,486; CI = 0,540-4,084), maternal age (OR = 1,170; CI = 0,390-3,512) and birth interval (OR = 2.2750.799-6.476).  Factors related to stunting were father's education, mother's education, birth weight and history of breastfeeding

Stunting is a chronic condition that describes stunted growth due to long-term malnutrition, indicated by a TB / U z-score of less than -2 SD. Stunting data at the Pusung Busungbiu in 2019 was 51.25% so research on the factors causing stunting was needed. Method: This study was an observational analytic study with a case control approach. The total sample of 200 people included mothers and toddlers aged 24 - 59 months according to inclusion criteria. Sampling is done by using cluster random sampling to select groups of samples and simple random sampling to select samples. The independent variables of this study were maternal height, sex of the toddler, age of the toddler, family income, parent's education, mother's married age, history of maternal KEK status, history of birth weight, long history of birth, history of exclusive breastfeeding and history of time of giving MP ASI. The collected data was tested using Chi Square and multiple logistic regression to find out the significant level at the significance level a = 0.05. Results: The results of multivariate analysis showed that birth length <48 cm had (P = 0.00; OR 14.1) and the age group 24-36 months had (P = 0.01; OR 1.6) while maternal height, toddler sex, family income, parent's education, mother's married age, history of maternal KEK status, history of birth weight, history of exclusive breastfeeding and history of time of giving ASI MP are not factors causing stunting. Conclusion: Birth length <48 cm and age groups 24-36 months were the most dominant causes of stunting. So it is necessary to get interventions, assistance and monitoring of growth and development that is good to improve the quality of life in the future

Background: The emergence of nutritional problems in toddlers is influenced by many interrelated factors. Directly influenced by some things, the toddler is not getting enough nutritious food balanced at the age of toddlers, the child does not get adequate nutritional care and children suffer from infectious diseases. Poverty is also one of the causes of malnutrition in regard to availability and consumption of family food. Less or worse nutritional problems and stunting are certainly required early detection attempts. Early detection of children's growth is an activity/examination to early find the existence of growth irregularities in infants The purpose of research: to do the growth factor: Nutrition Status, event Stunting in toddler  aged < 5 years in the work area Puskesmas Sidomulyo Pekanbaru. Research method: The sample used in this research is a toddler in Sidomulyo Puskesmas work area which amounted to 30 toddlers 12-59 months with Consencutive sampling technique. The study took place in December 2019.    Research instruments are digital weight scales, body length meters, Midline and questionnaires. Data analysis using the Rank Spearman. Research result: Classification of nutritional problems in infants based on the BB/U majority is BB less (underweight) 19 Reponden (63.3%). On a short (stunteed) majority, 14 respondents (46.7%), and based on the majority of the BB/TB of Good Nutrition (Normal) 17 respondents (56.7%). There are factors that affect the problem of nutritional status and stunting in children, from the knowledge aspect obtained by 16 respondents (53.3%)  Less knowledgeable, the majority of maternal education was 19 (63.3%), there were a history of 23-person disease infections (76.7%), and a low family income of 20 people (66.7%) and incomplete immunizations as much as 17 people (56.7%). There is a relationship factor of mother knowledge with the problem of nutrition (stunting) (0.00), there is a relationship factor mother education with the problem of nutrition (stunting) (0.00), there is a relationship factor family income with nutrition (stunting) (0.001), there is a relationship factor of infection history in infants with stunting problems (0.00), there is a relationship factor immunization history with the problem of the nutrient (stunting) (0.010). It is expected that the health workers further improve the counseling and education to the toddler mother in monitoring nutritional problems and growth of toddlers

ABSTRACT Background: Social economics and environmental factors contribute to low birthweight. Cigarette exposure to tobacco smoke in pregnant women has been discerned as an important risk factor for low birth weight. The purpose of this study was to investigate social economic determinants of birth weight using path analysis model. Subjects and Method: A case control study was carried out at Asembagus community health center, Situbondo, East Java. The study population was children aged 0-1 years. A sample of 150 children with normal birthweight and 50 children with low birth weight was selected randomly. The dependent variable was low bierthweight. The independent variables were maternal age, maternal employment status, family income, maternal knowledge, and cigarette smoke exposure. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis. Results: The risk of low birthweight was directly and positively associated with maternal age <20 or ≥35 years (b= 1.78; 95% CI= 0.83 to 2.73; p<0.001), low maternal education (<Senior high school) (b= 0.93; 95% CI= 0.00 to 1.86; p= 0.049), mother work outside the home (b= 1.24; 95% CI= 0.26 to 2.22; p= 0.013), low family income low (b= 1.33; 95% CI= 0.42 to 2.24; p= 0.004), low maternal knowledge (b= 1.17; 95% CI= 0.13 to 2.21; p= 0.026), and high cigarette smoke exposure (b= 1.11; CI 95%= 0.08 to 2.13; p= 0.035). The risk of low birthweight was indirectly and positively associated with maternal education, maternal knowledge, and family income. Conclusion: The risk of low birthweight is directly and positively associated with maternal age <20 or ≥35 years, low maternal education (<Senior high school), mother work outside the home, low family income low, low maternal knowledge, and high cigarette smoke exposure. The risk of low birthweight is indirectly and positively associated with maternal education, maternal knowledge, and family income.

Stunting is a form of malnutrition, as a proportion of children under 5 years old whose height is below minus 2 standard deviations based on the WHO Child Growth Standards. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of individual child factors with the incidence of stunting of children aged 24-36 months in Serdang Bedagai District, Sumatera Utara Province, Indonesia. This type of research is a case control study. The sample of this study amounted to 120 toddler, namely 60 cases and 60 controls with cluster sampling technique. Data was collected by interview technique using a questionnaire, and stunting data is determined by anthropometric measurements. Data analysis used chi-square test with α = 5%. The result showed that breastfeeding history, birth weight and birth length were related to the incidence of stunting in children aged 24-36 months (p <0,05; OR=2.1). It is suggested that there will be cooperation from various parties in overcoming nutritional problems during pregnancy and breastfeeding periods, such as increasing attention in the first 1000 days of human life, attention to nutrition of pregnant women as prevention of low birth weight and low birth length, which in turn affects stunting, as well as attention increase breastfeeding in infants.

Stunting is a global problem, especially in Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting among children under five in Palopo city is quite high, namely 36.0%. Therefore, this study aims to determine the incidence of stunting and its determinant factors in children aged 12–59 months in Palopo city, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study used a case control design. The subjects of this study were mothers who have toddlers aged 12-59 months. sampling with purposive sampling. 200 samples were collected for analysis. Data analysis using odds ratios. The proportion of stunting among toddlers 12-59 months was higher in children under five with a history of normal birth weight (70.8%) and under five who had no history of infection (84.0%). Low family income for stunting toddlers (78.0%). The results of statistical tests showed that LBW (OR = 5.37), history of infection (OR = 2.53) and family income (OR = 6.30) were determinants of stunting. This study shows that the determinants of stunting incidence in children aged 12-59 months are low birth weight, infectious diseases and low family income.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to examine the associations between the urinary concentrations of phthalate metabolites among a sample of Iranian pregnant women with anthropometric measures of neonates. Methods: Urine samples were obtained from 121 pregnant women at their first trimester of pregnancy; the levels of monobutyl phthalate (MBP), mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP), mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), and mono (2-ethyl-5hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP) metabolites were determined by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The correlation between the urinary concentration of these metabolites and some socio-demographic factors of the participants (maternal education, age, family income, pre-pregnancy body mass index), their lifestyle variables (smoking habit, food pattern, and physical activity), cleaning products use data (cosmetic and household cleaning products) with anthropometric measures of neonates were investigated. Results: MBzP, MBP, MEHP, and MEHHP were detected in 100% of participants with the concentration ranged from 120 to 860 μg/g creatinine. Significant correlations were observed between the urinary levels of maternal MBzP (adjusted β =0.3 (0.001), p=0.03) and MEHHP and (adjusted β =0.3 (0.001), p=0.04) with the birth weight of female neonates. MBP (adjusted β = -0.3(0.02), p=0.04) and MBzP (adjusted β =-0.3 (0.001), p=0.02) were found negatively associated with head circumference in male and female newborns, respectively. Significant differences existed in the birth weight of infants whose mothers used plastic packaging for pickle and those who had history of passive smoking (p-value< 0.05). Conclusions: the studied metabolites had higher concentration in the Iranian pregnant women urine compared to the other countries. Higher levels of prenatal exposure to phthalate metabolites may adversely impact the health status of newborns.

Child growth is the increase in the number, size of an organ and the development of the ability (skill) of complex and regular body functions. Many factors influence, one of which is family factor. Growth will be optimal if the various factors of the family is improved, both in terms of quantity and quality. The problem in this research is the unknown relationship of mother education level and family economic level on the growth of children under five (1-5 years) at Puskesmas Pemulutan of Ogan Ilir Regency covering dependent variable and independent variable. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between maternal education level and family economic level on the growth of children under five years (1-5 years) in Puskesmas Pemulutan Ogan Ilir District. This research is a descriptive analytic research with cross sectional approach to know the relationship of education level of mother and the economic level of the family on the growth of children under five (1-5 years) conducted on 50 samples by using the total population of mothers with children aged 1-5 years in Puskesmas Pemulutan Ogan Ilir. In this study, it was found that 50 mothers with children aged 1-5 years of education owned by the mother percentage were not much different from the well-educated mothers (53.0%), (70.0% ) family income is low, and the growth of children in Puskesmas Pemulutan is normal (62.0%). From the research results found that there is a relationship between the level of education of the mother and the economic level of the family with the growth of children. Therefore, it is recommended that health workers and posyandu cadres are more active in providing information, counseling, and early detection of child development. Keywords: Maternal education level, family economic level.

Introduction: The birth weight of every new born is a key predictor of its immediate outcome and indirect indicator for later development. There were no studies done in Bhutan to look at the average term birth weight. This study was under taken to estimate the average term birth weight of new born in Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital in Thimphu and to study its correlation with maternal factors and sex of the new born. Methods: This was a retrospective study with data collected from the birthing center record for those delivered between January 2011 to December 2014. A total of 13,647 singleton babies were included. Other variables studied maternal age, parity, education level, family income, antenatal booking visits, sex of baby and maternal ethnic origins. Data were analysed for correlations. Results: From the 13,647 singleton cases, the overall average term birth weight for new born was 3,177± 435 g with boys (mean weight 3,228± 435g) being heavier than girls (mean weight 3,121 ± 429 g). This study also proved the expectation that birth weight will improve with improvements in economic situation and female literacy level. The term birth weight was positively correlated with parity, number of antenatal visits, family income, maternal education level and age. Conclusions: The average term birth weight of new born in JDWNRH is 3,177± 435 g. The mean birth of North Bhutanese (mean as 3,260 ± 436g) is heavier by 200g than the South Bhutanese (mean as 3,060 ± 411 g).

Background: Anemia affects individuals of both gender and all ages, there is a need for localized and age- and context-specific studies to improve our knowledge of prevalence patterns and associated risk factors of Indian population. The present study was done to determine the prevalence of and associated risk factors for anemia in under five-year-old children in a tertiary care teaching hospital.Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out among under five-year-old children suffering from anemia. For the diagnosis of anemia, WHO criteria for haemoglobin (Hb) threshold in different age group were used. The growth and development statuses of children were evaluated by WHO's Child Growth Standards 2006.Results: Total 240 anaemic children were enrolled into the study. Children of age group of between 2-5 years was more affected. A majority of the mother of anaemic children had primary level of school education. More than half of the children belong to lower socioeconomic classes (Class IV + Class V). Nutritional deficiency was the single most important causative factor in the development of anemia. Infectious diseases found to be more prevalent.Conclusions: Nutritional deficiency, particularly, iron deficiency is the leading cause of anemia in the present study. In addition to nutritional deficiency, socioeconomic factors like, gender, maternal education and SE class also play an important role in development of anemia.
